Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Lili Reinhart (Hustlers, Riverdale) are set to star in Bad Boy, a new horror movie told through the eyes of a dog.
Directed by Jacob Chase (Come Play, The Girl In The Woods) from a script by Travis Braun, Bad Boy is due to start filming in Canada this August, Deadline reveals.
In Bad Boy:
Gary is a good boy who loves his new owner, Cameron (Quan). He gets treats and belly rubs and life is great. Gary isn’t allowed in the basement though. And even if he was, he can’t unlock doors. But there’s a girl (Reinhart) in the basement. And she can’t come out to play. Gary doesn’t know it, but he’s her only chance.
Deadline also report that casting for the pup, believed to be a Terrier, is currently under way.
Bad Boy is produced by Longlegs‘ Dave Caplan and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath, with Black Bear is repping international rights.
Here's what director Chase has to say about the upcoming horror-thriller:
“I love dogs. More than people. And I’m tired of seeing horror movies where the dog is the first one to die! They’re not just pets, they’re our best friends, and I believe it’s time for a horror film where the dog is the hero. Bad Boy is about loyalty, instinct, and the incredible bond between humans and dogs. It’s going to be a highly original, grounded, deeply suspenseful fresh take on a horror thriller. And I’m thrilled to collaborate with Ke and Lili on two roles unlike anything they’ve played before.”
Look out for more on Bad Boy as we get it.
